About Paradise Villas
Many villas in Benahavís are sold off plan, with a wait of two or three years. Paradise Villas is the opposite: the villa was completed in December 2024 and is key-ready. It is in El Paraíso Golf, a golf neighbourhood in the south-west of the municipality, between San Pedro and Estepona. At 51 metres above sea level, you are quite a bit lower here than in most Benahavís urbanisations, and so closer to the beach.
The villa has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms across 1,038 m² built. A lift connects all levels. On the lower floor you will find what makes a family villa comfortable: a wine cellar, a fully equipped gym and a spa with sauna. There is also a guest room, a laundry room, a pantry and a dressing room. The basement also offers plenty of storage, and the garage holds three cars.
The plot measures 1,915 m². Around the house is a landscaped garden with automatic irrigation and a private pool. Cars enter through a remote-controlled electric gate. The interior is contemporary and spacious, with lots of light. Because the villa is already built, you can judge the finishes, the spaces and the views before you decide, something you cannot do when buying off plan.

Paradise Villas in figures
On paper, this is the cheapest new development per m² that we track in Benahavís: €3,854 per m², 51 per cent below the median of the twelve projects and even 31 per cent below resale homes in the municipality. There is an explanation for this low price per m². The 1,038 m² includes a large basement with storage, garage and wellness area; another portal lists around 800 m² of usable space. If you calculate on that basis, the price per m² is higher. With VAT, stamp duty, notary and lawyer, the €4,000,000 villa costs around €4,520,400, roughly 13 per cent extra. At 110 m², the terrace is modest for a home of this size: 11 per cent of the built area.
| Price | € 4.000.000 |
| VAT (IVA) 10% | € 400.000 |
| Stamp duty (AJD) 1.2% | € 48.000 |
| Notary and land registry (estimate) | € 24.000 |
| Lawyer 1% + VAT (estimate) | € 48.400 |
Around 13.0% on top of the price in total. All purchase costs explained.
Terrace, solarium and garden combined, as a percentage of the living area (median). That is more than 8% of new developments in Benahavís. Largest outdoor space: 110 m².
Calculated by Imagine Marbella on 20 October 2026 from the current listings of 12 new developments in Benahavís and the average asking price of resale homes according to Idealista (September 2026). Costs are an estimate; we will prepare an exact calculation for you.
Location
El Paraíso is a golf urbanisation on the western side of Benahavís, close to the border with Estepona. The area has grown up around the golf course and clubhouse, with villas and smaller residential complexes in green surroundings. Because it lies lower than most urbanisations in the municipality, you are quickly on the coast and the motorway. It is a residential area without a real centre, so you drive a short way for shops and restaurants. The beach is about 3 kilometres away.
Salduna beach is 9 minutes away by car. The nearest supermarket is a 7-minute drive, as is the El Paraíso Golf clubhouse, which you can also reach on foot in 27 minutes. The International School of Estepona is 8 minutes away. You reach San Pedro in 10 minutes, Puerto Banús in 12 and Estepona town centre in 20.
We will send you the exact location and the address of the sales office when you request Privé access or book a viewing.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:02 on 21 June and sets at 21:41, giving 14.7 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Paradise Villas sits at around 51 metres above sea level.
According to the project data, the villa has sea views. At 51 metres the view is less sweeping than higher up in the hills; we will check together on site how open it remains from the garden and terrace.
Homes and finishes
The villa is built with energy-efficient techniques and achieves energy rating A. Heating, cooling and hot water come from an aerothermal heat pump, with underfloor heating throughout. Floors are large-format marble-effect porcelain, with white oak laminate in the bedrooms. The windows are double glazed for thermal and acoustic insulation. The kitchen has a central island with a composite stone worktop. When viewing, we check the heat pump and the spa, look for any signs of damp in the basement, and request the first occupation licence, the ten-year building insurance and the warranties.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Paradise Villas through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Paradise Villas
Strengths
- Key-ready since December 2024: you see and test what you buy

- Beach a 9-minute drive, school and golf club 7 to 8 minutes
- Full wellness area with spa, sauna, gym and wine cellar in the basement
- Energy rating A with heat pump and underfloor heating
Points to consider
- Part of the 1,038 m² is basement; check the usable living area
- 110 m² of terraces is limited for a villa of this size
- One portal lists the villa as no longer available; we verify the status
- The lower position means less panoramic views than higher up in Benahavís
- A large villa with spa and lift brings high fixed maintenance costs
Who is Paradise Villas right for?
Paradise Villas suits buyers who don't want to wait years for a new-build villa and want to live close to the beach, golf and international schools. Large families or those who often have guests will have plenty of room here. If you are mainly after a spectacular panorama high in the hills or a villa with large outdoor terraces, you are more likely to find that in urbanisations such as La Quinta or El Madroñal.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?
With us you pay exactly the same price as buying direct from the developer. Our fee is paid by the seller, not by you. What you get on top is what makes the difference.
- Independent. We are not tied to any development. We compare the entire market and tell you honestly when a project is not right for you.
- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.
- Beyond the handover. We follow the construction, the handover and the after-sales with you, so you are never on your own.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.

Frequently asked questions about Paradise Villas
Is Paradise Villas available immediately?
The villa was completed in December 2024 and is key-ready. One portal now lists it as unavailable, so we always confirm the current status with the seller first before arranging a viewing.
Why is the price per m² at Paradise Villas so low?
The 1,038 m² built area includes a large basement with garage, storage and wellness area. Another portal lists around 800 m² of usable space. So compare on usable m², not just built m².
How far is El Paraíso Golf from the beach?
The beach is about 3 kilometres away. By car you reach Playa Salduna in 9 minutes. On foot it takes about 52 minutes, so for a daily trip to the beach you take the car.
Can you spend the winter in this area?
Yes. Between San Pedro and Estepona the winters are mild, with about 9.7 hours of daylight in December. With underfloor heating and a heat pump, this villa is comfortable in the cooler months too.
Do I pay more if I buy Paradise Villas through Imagine Marbella?
No. You pay the same price as buying directly from the seller. Through us you also get independent advice, legal guidance and aftercare.
What costs come on top of the price of a new-build home?
In Andalusia, a new build carries 10% VAT (IVA) and 1.2% stamp duty (AJD), plus notary, land registry and lawyer's fees. For the most affordable home in Paradise Villas, that adds up to around 13.0%.
